(54) | Electric rotary machine, method for producing the same and hydro-electric power installation with the machine |
(57) An electric rotating machine including a rotor (50) having a spider arm (1) which
is fixedly mounted on a substantially vertical shaft (11) and has arms (14) extending
radially outwardly from the shaft (11), and an annular rotor rim (2) fixedly mounted
on distal ends of the arms (14) of the spider arm (1). The laminated core (3) is fixedly
mounted on an outer periphery of the rotor rim (2), and is composed of a plurality
of fan-shaped thin core plates (31) of steel laminated and arranged in an annular
shape. Slot grooves (32) are formed in an outer periphery of the core plates. The
rotor rim (2) is composed of laminated rim members (21) each made of an annular thick
steel plate, and rim engaging grooves are formed in an outer periphery of the rim
member at equal intervals. The core plate has core engaging grooves (33) opposed to
the rim engaging grooves (26), respectively, in such a manner that the number of complete
core engaging grooves is two. An axially-extending connecting key (8) is fitted in
each mating pair of core engaging groove and rim engaging groove to fix the laminated
core (3) to the rotor rim (2). |
